Challenge

For the imperial capital, this matter was somewhat far-fetched.

Just last month, Phrus had annexed the entirety of Thoria Kingdom's territories, an event Howard was somewhat prepared for.

However, how had Neplon, once a noble within the boundaries of Oli Kingdom, become the king of Fran Kingdom? 

Moreover, the question of whether Neplon's territories within Oli would remain under his rule as the newly crowned king of Fran Kingdom or be reclaimed by Oli was a pressing issue that needed resolution.

Without addressing this matter, complications were bound to arise.

Thus, Howard personally made his way to the capital of Fran Kingdom to confront Neplon, saying, "Quite the maneuver, escaping the waves of Oli to become the king of Fran Kingdom. I must admit, I'm impressed." 

Neplon, seated upon a crystal chair with a golden scepter in his right hand, responded, "King of Oli, to what do I owe the honor of your visit to my Fran Kingdom?"
